Gérard Oury's film La Grande Vadrouille (1966), a World War II comedy, was the highest French box office success of all time until 2008, when it was eclipsed by Dany Boon's Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis. The film was made in a number of locations, among them various places in Paris, Vézelay, Meursault, and Beaune. It was in Beaune in 1996 that Patrick Bidaux executed this mural. Below I let the shots speak for themselves: the mural is essentially in two segments, from the left with the production team, prominently including Gérard Oury with his loud hailer, and on the right Louis de Funès with Bourvil in front of the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune.
